This glass cremation touchstone is handcrafted with your loved one’s or pet’s ashes permanently sealed inside, with smooth raised bubbles across the surface. The bubbles give your fingers something calming to trace and focus on, creating a comforting tactile experience while you hold it.

The raised glass bubbles also magnify the ashes underneath, allowing them to remain beautifully visible through the glass. Carry it in your pocket, purse, or hold it in your hand whenever you need something grounding nearby.

Questions About Cremation Touchstones

How are ashes added to a cremation touchstone?

A small amount of cremation ash is blended into the colored glass, then carefully encased inside clear molten glass during the glassmaking process. Small clear bumps are then added to the outside for a tactile memorial experience.

How much ash is needed for a touchstone?

Approximately ¼ teaspoon of cremation ash is needed to create this memorial touchstone.

What makes every cremation touchstone unique?

Every cremation touchstone is handcrafted individually, so the color movement, ash placement, and internal patterns naturally vary from piece to piece.
